Quote From: dennis1952First of all I don't understand what kind of a mother Katherine has that would let things get this far out of hand without knowing it. Kids don't have a right to privacy beyond what is reasonable and merited. This business about them they don't fell you trust them because you are always looking over their shoulders and adults who say I trust my child implicitly is insanity. Children do not know what to do with privacy or anything else when they come into this world. It is up to the parents to gently but firmly guide their children through the learning process of right and wrong, good and bad, innocence and ignorance. Her mother failed at this miserably.
Katherine has gotten way out of hand and needs to be realed back in even if it is against her will. She has no idea what she is in for if whe returns to that crazy backward country. I would buy a shack in the backwoods of Kentucky and take her there where I'd keep her tied up if that were the only way to keep her from going back over there. I would rather go to jail than see her go through hell.
Abdullah is a swine. He doesn't care about Katherine in the least. Nothing he said on the first show was truthful and everyone knew it. It was obvious that she wanted to disagree with him or cry out for help but was too afraid of the consequences once they were off camera. He should be arrested immediately if he comes to this country and tried for statutory rape for the sixteen year old abduction of Katerine when he first coerced into coming to him in Jordan. I think we should resort to cutting off non-essential body parts if he comes here, just like they do over there.
Parents: Please Do Look into your childs computers and see where they have been. That isn't wrong, it's responsible.
I understand that Katherines mom had other children to deal with. But...when she got back home at 16 why did she still have a cell phone? Why was she allowed to have a computer? My youngest daughter was a teen just as the computer opened up with chat rooms. Our computer was sitting in the kitchen. So...I could see what was going on. I forbid her to make any kind of contact with anyone she met on the computer. I hate to say this...but her mother was way too easy.
Why was she allowed to talk to this guy for all these years? I imagine since we did not see the father that there was a divorce. Could he have helped?
Katherine....go on with your life. But...remember that as long as you keep your myspace...and the cell phone number he will continue to haunt you.
The only way to end it is to not answer his calls...to not speak to him at all. After awhile he will get tired of it. But...if you continue to talk to him he will always think he still has a chance.
